Chapter IV

As soon as Concubine Xian heard that her emperor dared to say that she would be beheaded, she hurriedly raised her hand to cover Dongfang Du's mouth, shook her head lightly and whispered: "Du'er, do you know what you just said, if the prince's people know about it, what will happen to you?" Don't say that the crown prince will attack you directly, even if the emperor hears what he just said, he will never spare your life again. ”

The emperor is still in power, there is a prince who wants to win the world, it is the emperor's taboo, don't say that he just wants to seize the prince's position as the prince, from the day the prince was sealed, the inheritance of the country has been determined, if someone covets the position of the prince, it is the coveting of the emperor's position.

Dongfang Du restrained his feelings, raised his hand and gently pulled away Concubine Xian's hand, "It's the son's impulsiveness, but this thing the son's minister must do" Thinking of his ten years outside the palace, he asked: "The mother concubine still remembers that the son's body was weak, so when he was four or three years old in Qiansheng, he followed

Wuyazi has a total of three disciples, senior brother Fang Huiting, who is three years older than Dongfangdu, senior sister Chu Mi, who is one year older, and Dongfangdu. Senior Brother Ting and Senior Sister Mi are the closest people to Dongfangdu, and Chu Mi even knows the secret of Dongfangdu's woman pretending to be a prince in disguise. The three of them traveled together and got to know many heroes and heroes.

"What do you mean?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly, knowing that when her emperor said this, she must have thought of a way to seize the throne.

Dongfang Du did not answer directly, but said: "Mother, if the son can return to Qiansheng for fifteen years, he must protect you, not only to protect you, but also to change his fate." Saying this, Concubine Xian understood the meaning of Dongfangdu, which was to start planning the position of the prince step by step from the people who surrounded the rivers and lakes.

After Dongfang Du finished speaking, he remembered his previous life, and when he thought of his generous, warm and indisputable temperament in his previous life, he ended up being assassinated, and he hated it.

Maybe what he hated was that he was killed by Dongfang Xi for some reason, maybe what he really hated was just Dark Cloud's foolish loyalty, if Dark Cloud was willing to follow him out of the palace and live in seclusion in the Nameless Valley, it would have been different.

If you want to win the throne, one reason is that you don't want to be killed, and the more important reason is that the dark guard only obeys the emperor's orders, and if you want to get the dark cloud, you can only get the throne. Thinking that one of the reasons why he wanted to win the throne turned out to be Dark Cloud, Dongfang Du couldn't help but ask himself, 'Is it really impossible to let her go?' Obviously died at her hands, why do you still miss it? It's not enough to give her a life, do you have to give her this life again? ’

Dongfang Du practiced martial arts outside for ten years, and Qiansheng returned to the palace when he was thirteen years old in the fourteenth year, and met the dark clouds that had just entered the palace for the first time in the imperial garden. At that time, the dark cloud was just a simple little girl. The scene of the first encounter is still vivid.

"My name is Dongfang Du, I am the second prince, which palace maid are you? Why here? "Thinking that a palace maid dared to play in the imperial garden without permission, I was very curious.

"I... I'm not a palace maid," Dark Cloud replied with a stammered voice. Dongfang Du must not have known, at that time, what Dark Cloud was thinking in his heart was, 'Isn't this person a prince?' Why don't you call yourself Hongu, but call yourself me? ’

"Not a palace maid? How can a lady who is not a palace maid appear in the palace? Dongfang Du tilted his head and frowned and asked, 'What a boldness! Isn't it the palace maid who dares to blatantly wander around the imperial garden, is it an assassin? Thinking like this, he grabbed Dark Cloud's shoulders and arms with a dragon grip and pressed them to the ground, "Say, are you an assassin?" ”

"I'm not an assassin, I'm a dark guard!" As he spoke, Dark Cloud turned over, broke away from Dongfangdu's clamps, and kicked at the same time, directly kicking Dongfangdu to the ground. A carp in Dongfang Du jumped up, put on a posture, and said with a slight red face: "What a bold man, he dares to beat the prince!" ”

"Aren't all princes calling themselves the palace? You're not a prince at all! Dark Cloud stared at Dongfang fiercely, "I think you're an assassin!" ”

When Dongfang Du heard this, his face, which was originally slightly red, was suddenly dyed red, and he put down his hands embarrassedly, stood up straight and said, "I... I... I've been outside the palace for a long time, and I've just returned to the palace, and... I'm not used to calling myself this palace...... "Thinking about my ten years outside, where is the opportunity to call myself this palace, and this palace is called, I feel very motherly when I hear it, and I just return to the palace during this time, if no one reminds me, I will unconsciously call myself me."

"Outside the palace for a long time? How long? One month? Or two months? When Dongfang Du replied, "I have been outside the palace for ten years", his face was full of shock, and he opened his mouth slightly and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Dark Cloud was shocked and had a hint of disbelief, Dongfang Du explained: "When I was three years old, I was frail, and Lin Shunan Lin Tai Doctor of Tai Hospital happened to know my master Wu Yazi, so he asked Wu Yazi if he was willing to accept me as an apprentice to teach me martial arts to strengthen my body, I thought that my master would refuse, who would have thought that my master agreed without thinking about it, so I could only follow Wu Yazi out of the palace." ”

"You, a prince, just follow others out of the palace like this, will the emperor agree?" Dark Cloud was puzzled, it stands to reason that a dignified prince, if he needs to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, he can obviously ask Wufuzi to teach in the palace, where do you need to go out of the palace.

"Wuyazi's martial arts are known to the world, if he has the opportunity to become his disciple, how can his father disagree?" Dongfang Du said proudly, thinking that the girl in front of him didn't even know her master Wuyazi, and asked disdainfully, "Haven't you heard of my master's name?" ”

"I didn't ...... No......" Dark Cloud said weakly, thinking about what to ask again, Dongfang Du preemptively spoke: "You haven't told me yet, what is your name?" ”

"I, my name is Dark Cloud." Dark Cloud didn't want to tell the man in front of him his name, especially when he saw his proud and smug appearance just now, he felt even more disgusted, but thinking that he was the second prince, he hesitated for a moment, and still said his name.

"Dark clouds? What a strange name, how can someone have a dark surname? You won't lie to me, will you......" Dongfang Du raised his eyebrows, bent down and leaned his head close to the dark cloud, with a look of disbelief, "I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but I have never heard of a person surnamed Dark. ”

"I am the emperor's secret guard, this name was given by the emperor!" Seeing Dongfangdu's face of disbelief, Dark Cloud blurted out his identity.

"Dark Guard?" Dongfang Du stood up straight, learned Yun Yazi's movements and touched his chin, "I have long heard that my father has a secret guard, and today I can see a living one, but I can't let it go!" ’

Dongfang Du hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that he thought was very handsome and charming, "Yun'er, since you are your father's secret guard, why are you in this imperial garden?" Shouldn't he be by his father's side to protect him? As soon as the question was asked, he suddenly reacted, this dark cloud seems to be as old as himself, how can he protect the emperor, and he was able to be caught by himself just now, and his reaction ability does not seem to be strong, thinking that if such a person protects his father, his father's safety still seems to be unguaranteed.

It was the first time to see such a seductive smile, especially when this smile was still on a boy's face, Dark Cloud lowered his head shyly with a flushed face, and didn't dare to look at Dongfang anymore.

Dongfang Du looked at the red cheeks of the dark clouds, and his heart was budding, and he was secretly happy, "No wonder those women I met on the rivers and lakes were fascinated by me, it seems that my smile is really charming, and even my father's secret guard can't resist it......

Dongfang Du looked at it for a moment, thinking that he was still curious about the matter of the emperor's secret guard, so he approached the dark cloud and asked quietly: "Yun'er, at your age, your martial arts are not enough... Ahem... has not yet reached the point of invincibility in the world, how can he be qualified to protect his father? ”

Dark Cloud blushed, glanced up at Dongfangdu, turned his head and glanced around, making sure that his master and the other secret guards were not there, before he replied in a low voice, "Two... The second prince, our nine new secret guards, are studying from their respective masters, and will take over their positions in the future......"

"Nine new Dark Guards?" Dongfang Du blinked, "Father is really saving, why only have nine secret guards to protect him......

Dark Cloud nodded slightly, "I, Dark Wind, Dark Star, Dark Chen, Dark Day, Dark Night, Dark Year, Dark Sun, Dark Night, a total of nine new Dark Guards, replacing the nine old Dark Guards who are also of this name. ”

"The old and the new?"

"Well, the masters are all thirty-five years old, and our new batch is all twelve years old, and when we reach the age of seventeen, we will officially take over the position of the masters."

"That'...... Are there only nine of you? Dongfang Du continued to ask, thinking that if there were really only nine secret guards, could it be that in the past five years, nine secret guards could be cultivated into one enemy and one hundred?

"We are the Nine Secret Guards, we are the leaders, and there are other Secret Guards......"

"I see" solved the doubts in his heart, Dongfang Du nodded, and suddenly thought that it didn't seem appropriate for this dark cloud to tell himself everything like this, thought about it, and reminded: "Yun'er, in the future, when others ask you this, you don't have to say it all again." "'It's really too simple, so simple, how can you still be a secret guard!'

"Hmm" Darkcloud nodded, thinking that there were only other guards talking to him besides his master, and no one would ask those questions at all.

Recalling this, Dongfang Du smiled lightly, "Yun'er at that time was really simple and cute. ’

Concubine Xian suddenly smiled when she saw her emperor, and asked worriedly, "Du'er, did you think of something?" "'Why did you suddenly laugh, just now you looked like you were going to be the enemy of the world......

Dongfang Du came back to his senses, "Ah... Not... It's nothing... I just felt happy to see my mother again" As he spoke, he hugged Concubine Xian again, rubbing his head in Concubine Xian's arms.
